How much do looks define your self-image?

[Aggie_Ama]

I do know a lot of women who feel much better about themselves after getting implants, which I think is a perfectly fine reason to get plastic surgery. I knew someone who got a nose job, same thing. She didn't obsess over it or discuss it to the point of making us sick. She just did it and then told us once. It was the end of it. I just feel awkward and even annoyed somedays being complimented on something I didn't ask for that I find a bit trivial. And I do have a friend that I love dearly that is absolutely obssessed with wanting implants to the point that I think it is unhealthy. In the five years we have been friends my breasts and her lack of has been discussed more times than I really think is appropriate. I still cherish her friendship but I tell her about it. I also tell her if she does buy herself implants I don't think it will solve the true problem (but probably not in such a blunt way). She knows she has self-esteem issues.

Now when the only cousin (there are 5 kids) that didn't getting blue eyes goes on about my blue eyes, I laugh! And I do relish compliments on my blue eyes, they are just like my dad's. Probably why I wear make up every day, they have drawn compliments all my life. So I guess we all have the potential to be vain.
